    So 4 pro teams who have a total of 6-7 games in their season and have to fly around the world to play those games?

    That was the first home game I missed. Watched It on my phone at my mother in law’s in Mirboo North during dinner. Probably my favourite Rebels memory.

    There’s also a couple of different actions coming. According to Geoff Parkes in the Roar today, the first will be on the licence/participation.

    Small silver lining - my Stan renewal date is 10 June which gets me through the first week of finals. Stan sports subscription cancelled.

    Awesome - just like it was when I was a schoolboy and we produced fuck all Wallabies and anyone any good went north during high school.

    There's a lot of conflation between the MRRU consortium proposal and RA's decision today which was to shut down an operation fully under their control. So many weasel words shifting the blame from RA, but the reality is they could have continued to support the continuation of the Rebels. Not...

    Did they talk about soccer - I just saw something on Facebook and was surprised to hear they had their grand final today and Melbourne Victory were playing. I hope that’s not the experience non-rugby fans get with our sport.

    It's ok for a weekend game, albeit with no public transport option. Friday night for me would involve driving into the city for work in the morning, then fighting the traffic from the city out to Tarneit after work then another hour to hour and a half or so to drive home across Melbourne - it...

    Its hard for anyone to guarantee funding given no-one knows how much money will be in the game post 2025 - that's not an issue unique to the Rebels. What happens to the Brumbies or Reds in the event that TV revenue falls off a cliff but they are still locked in to paying 95% of the salary cap...

    To date myself, Tamati was same year as me at school - played against him. As I recall it back then, Ewen McKenzie was the great Victorian success story that we all knew about, Andrew Heath got to the wallabies whilst I was a schoolboy and that was huge. Tamati got to Aus A, but it was mainly...

    It will be like the old days. If you want success you move up to Sydney or Brisbane to finish school and get on a professional pathway up there (ala Digby Ioane, Lloyd Johansen, etc). The academies down here will drop in standard as the best leave making them less viable pathways. We go back to...

    There is a provision to commence legal action against RA for the alleged debts regardless of the outcome with the ATO. The funds recovered will be used to bring the creditors other than the excluded creditors (the directors) up to $0.35 in the dollar. All money recovered above that goes to the...
